This scene immediately took me back to college econ. Anyway, I found it an interesting twist in that both parties knew they could possibly be saved. I also found Deebo's decision to be rather altruistic, bc I would've hit that button so fast...
Try hanging out at warriorforum or forums.digitalpoint.com. As for the get rich quick aspect--that's just how you go about selling that kind of information. I'm sure it beats getting rich 10 years later.
Affiliate marketing isn't really a "get rich quick" thing. It takes a lot of time and a lot of trial and error. But if you can hack and you are creative and you aren't too uptight you can make some great cash doing it.
Not even a surprise--thats how the casino biz works. High rollers are there for the resort to create buzz and bring people in. Just like Mercedes puts an SL convertible on the showroom to bring in gawkers, and some of them leave with a C class. Amex spreads rumors about a black card---it increases the wannabes signing up for credit cards.
That's not true at all. The casinos that cater to them make fortunes from high rollers. The average person on the Vegas strip blows something like $20 a day in gaming and has a total gaming budget of about $600 per trip. High rollers bet big enough that an unusual winning or losing streak can shift a casino's quarterly results by 5% or more.
And Amex does have a black card, it's not a rumor (though there are many untrue rumors about it). I know a holder, who not coincidentally is how I know so much about comp programs and how casinos treat high rollers.
Wow...my points were missed completely. Everybody knows the BC is real, but Amex does not advertise it. Info is leaked, they create buzz, and they allow people to gossip about it--its far more clever marketing to neither confirm or deny its existence as Amex did in the 90s--esp when it was by invite only and many people werent sure if it was real.
And I didnt suggest that casinos don't make money off the high rollers. But they definitely make a greater and more stable cashflow from masses of low rollers than handfuls of high rollers. A smaller scale example would be the high end dept store in your city, like a Saks or a Neimans--their avg purchase is probably in the high 3/low 4 figures while at the same time at least once or a few times a day a high roller spends 10k+ on clothing. Probably with their Black Card. XD
My brother (through his company) does in fact have a black AMEX card.
It is made of metal instead of plastic, and to his annoyance, does not always fit in machines that take credit cards because it is a little thicker and slightly larger.
